Titanium dioxide powders were synthesized via a sol-gel method using titanium nitride as the precursor. The structure and morphology of the synthesized powders were investigated and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD results indicate that pure single phase titanium dioxide of rutile structure had been obtained. It was also revealed that annealing temperature plays an important role in the formation of single phase titanium dioxide powders. Increasing heat treatments also modified the shape and surface morphology from chunks and rock-like morphology to a mixture of flaky aggregates. Conductivity studies using a.c. impedance technique was used. The conductivity of the sample annealed at 400 °C is 89 % higher than that annealed at 800 °C and attributed to the phase and morphology of the samples.

The sol-gel method was employed to prepare the Eu3+-doped TiO2 thin films. The influence of doping concentration and annealing temperature on the structures and photoluminescence (PL) properties was investigated. The result of X-ray diffraction revealed that all the films are of anatase phase. It is shown that the PL intensities of the films increased with Eu3+ concentration and reached the maximum at 1.4 mol%, then decreased with the concentration. Observed anatase phase appeared at temperature above 400 °C, and the luminescence intensity increased with the increase of annealing temperature.

Terbium –substituted yttrium iron garnet (Tb1.5Y1.5Fe5O12) films nanoparticles were successfully prepared by a sol-gel method. The films were deposited on the quartz substrate using spin coating technique. To study effect of annealing temperature, the annealing process was executed at 700, 800 and 900 °C in air for 2 hours. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) proved that the pure phase of garnet structure was detected for the film annealed at 900 °C. The lattice parameter increased with the increment of annealing temperature and the highest value of 12.35 Å was obtained at 900 °C. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM) results showed that the particle size increased from 43nm to 56nm as annealing temperature increased from 700 to 900°C. The film’s thickness also affected by increasing of annealing temperature and become thin at 900 °C due to densification process occurred at high annealing temperature. The elemental compositions of the Tb1.5Y1.5Fe5O12 film were detected using an Energy Dispersive X-raySpectroscopy (EDX). Magnetic properties at room temperature were measured using a Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM).The saturation magnetization Ms increased with the annealingtemperature and showed a high value of 104emu/cm3, but the coercivity Hc of the film was decreased due to the increment of the particle size.

Mn, Fe doped ZnO powders (Zn0.95-xMnxFe0.05O2, x≤0.05) were synthesized by an ameliorated sol-gel method, using Zn(CH3COO)2, Mn(CH3COO)2and FeCl2as the raw materials, with the addition of vitamin C as a kind of chemical reducer. The resulting powder was subsequently compacted under pressure of 10 MPa at the temperature of 873K in vacuum. The crystal structure and magnetic properties of Zn0.95-xMnxFe0.05O2powder and bulk samples have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to study chemical valence of manganese, iron and zinc in the samples. The x-ray diffraction (XRD) results showed that Zn0.95-xMnxFe0.05O (x≤0.05) samples were single phase with the ZnO-like wurtzite structure. No secondary phase was found in the XRD spectrum. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that Fe and Mn existed in Zn0.95-xMnxFe0.05O2samples in Fe2+and Mn2+states. The results of VSM experiment proved the room temperature ferromagnetic properties (RTFP) of Mn, Fe co-doped ZnO samples.

AbstractIn this work, BiFeO3 powders were synthesized by a sol–gel method. The influence of annealing temperature on the structure and magnetic properties of the samples has been discussed. X-ray diffraction studies showed that the purest phase was formed in the temperature range of 400 °C to 550 °C and the samples annealed at a temperature below 550 °C were of nanocrystalline character. Mössbauer spectroscopy and magnetization measurements were used as complementary methods to investigate the magnetic state of the samples. In particular, the appearance of weak ferromagnetic properties, significant growth of magnetization, and spin-glass-like behavior were observed along with the drop of average grain size. Mössbauer spectra were fitted by the model assuming cycloidal modulation of spins arrangement and properties of the spin cycloid were determined and analyzed. Most importantly, it was proved that the spin cycloid does not disappear even in the case of the samples with a particle size well below the cycloid modulation period λ = 62 nm. Furthermore, the cycloid becomes more anharmonic as the grain size decreases. The possible origination of weak ferromagnetism of the nanocrystalline samples has also been discussed.

Abstract In this paper, we reported the synthesis of NiO NPs and Mg doped-NiO NPs using the facile sol-gel method. Besides, the influence of the variation of Mg dopant on the structural, morphological and optical properties of the prepared Mg-NiO NPs was studied. The synthesized Mg-NiO NPs nanoparticles were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction Analysis (XRD), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The X-ray diffraction confirmed the formation of the cubic structure of Mg doped-NiO NPs after doping with the magnesium. The increase in the crystal size was observed with the increase in the concentration of the Mg dopant element. The FESEM images reveal the formation of nickel oxide through the appearance of spherical clusters, while the hybrids appear as wrinkled surface covered with spherical particles of magnesium. The UV-Vis spectrum showed a shift towards shorter wavelengths with an increase in the concentration of the Mg dopant element due to the quantum confinement effect. The hemolysis activity study showed that NiO NPs had a low hemolysis percentage of 1.47% and increased with increasing concentration. While, increasing of the RBC hemolysis (5.9%) after NiO doped with Mg. The antibacterial activity was studied against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa bacteria, and indicated the highest growth inhibition zones of Mg-doped NiO NPs as compared with NiO NPs against of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, respectively.
